TODAY, or rather, MONDAY is Martin Luther King Jr. Day - aka one too many holidays during the winter. Only because, I don't get holidays. :D I have a little over a month until Furry Fiesta and a ton of stuff to get done! I'll be ready. Just got to get this big poster done and commissions.. and comics... Well, the only reason I dislike holidays is that it cuts into time I need for work because people want me to do stuff with them. :D Which is awesome.. when I don't have a ... ton of stuff to do so that they can EAT. :D And believe me, Kim LIKES to eat. So yes, I do have to take some extra time out to entertain. I also took some time out to play SWTOR with hubby since he traded in Skyrim so I could get the game. Now I need to find $15 a month and then play at least 15 hours a month to make it worth it - but it is good relaxing time and I REALLY enjoy my smuggler, Filaire. :D I play on Ebon Hawk ... I think. Mostly with my hubby's trooper, who has a dark side streak in him. Makes for lots of amusement when we're rolling for decisions during a conversation. :D I tend to choose light side, he tends to choose dark.. although I did get 100 dark points tonight for taking out a traitor. ;) Seriously - I enjoy this game more than I've enjoyed ALL of the SW movies put together. I've never laughed while playing an MMO and it's just enjoyable to have some hand in how things go storywise instead of a single set outcome. SO yes, I like this stress reliever. :D

Bleaaaah.. so much for trying to get extra stuff done. I am making wooden pendants (similar to what I make for cons) for my daughter to sell on Thursday at her school! FINALLY a project I know something about. Two hours into it, Kim starts realizing: This is a LOT of work! :D I did a bit more than half the work even though I didn't intend to ;) She has 42 shiny wooden pendants - coated them with the pearlescent dust I had purchased years ago on clearance and mod podge. Some of them are VERY nice to look at! Punched holes in them. They're circles and hearts. I'll take photos when we start working on them today. Today after she gets home from school, I'll be showing her how to decorate them and leave that to her. It's a lot of punching out of cardstock and applying stickers, which she should have fun doing. Going to have hubby cut ribbon to turn them into necklaces. I will also be going over them again with a coat of modpodge to make sure they're sealed well. ;) (But I'm not going to apply the extra dome coat I do for my own stuff for obvious reasons.)

So I spent two hours that I didn't intend to spend on helping Kim and showing her how to do pendants. :D Figured, eh,... two hours, I have plenty of time to work on comics tomorrow. Went to bed.

Only to be awoken at 1:45 or so with Vash having a seizure. :( Peed on the bed. *sigh* Dog wasn't even supposed to be on the bed. Gave Vash medication, tripped bed, put on new sheets, tossed aside one blanket for the wash, cut the spot where he peed out of our soft foam pad since it can't be washed and remade bed. Hubby went to sleep, I got up for about half an hour and heard him doing it AGAIN. Of course he peed AGAIN. So again, stripped bed, put on new sheets, had to toss my pillow aside. :( :( Blocked dog out of bedroom, who then proceded to do everything he could to get back IN the bedroom, including a lot of yipping, whining, barking and scratching. Finally got up and tied him to the coffee table and sat up and worked from 2 to 6 am... well... kind of worked. He settled down after three hours. 9.9 Was very annoyed, tired and cranky. Went to bed and was dead to the world until 10:30 am... so I'm not really that awake right now, but working on it... down the point that I have a diet coke sitting next to me and took two ibuprofens instead of one to hit the headache before it fully awakens.

I'm cranky. :( :( Having a dog with seizures would be far more handleable if we had a house... I'd be less concerned everytime he has an accident and this medication makes him not CARE about asking us to go out. It depresses him that much.

Going to give this a try again since I've had a good response this month. Crunched the numbers and in the future, I will be offering extra updates for meeting lower goals than before. (For Cyantia, that will include other story updates as well. I will let donators choose what secondary comic they'd like to support as well.) I'd much rather work on the comics than commissions, although I will still take a few commissions because they do good things for me, like make me do things I wouldn't normally. I'm not promising extra updates this month or next due to Furry Fiesta work I must get done, but March and onward will carry a guarantee. I'll also roll the amounts over. I have done this in the past, sometimes with good results, sometimes not. So let's try this again since I'm happier making minimum wage per hour than $2 and if I'm happy with it, then I tend to work better and not hate it when I get in the 'I don't want to do this, I want to do something else.' frame of mind. (More of, I'm happy if my refrigerator is full of food and the gas tank isn't empty. As long as those things are done, I don't care how much I make.) I'll never be a good starving artist, my only vice is food. :D
